When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, nothing is going right
Going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your dark, darkest night
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again (No-oo)
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend (yeah re-re yeah, yeah)
If the sky above you (No no no no no no)
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow (Oh-oo, blow)
Keep your head together
And call my name out loud (la la la la la la)
And girl you know that soon, I'll be knocking, knocking at your door
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, (I'll come running)
To see you again (no ooo)
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah
You got a friend (I know, I know)
Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
People can be so cold
They'll hurt you (they hurt you)
You know they desert you (desert you)
And take your soul if you let them
No no don't you let them
You just call out my name (out my name)
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
(You know we go back a long way, we sure do baby)
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will
You got a friend (you you you you, you know)
You got a friend, yes you do (I know I know I know)
All of the way back
To the time here in Brooklyn, in 1962 (yeah)
Just me and you (Franklin yeah yeah, and Ronald)
You've got a friend, yeah yeah
I gonna wave you yes I will
You've got a friend
(You-uu've got a friend, oh-oo)
You've got a friend
